Those are very nice. The second one is very colorful.

The first one looks to me like a juvenile male Vermillion Flycatcher. I may be off though. Where are the photos from JJ?


as john said, the second one is an american kestrel.


Great Pictures by the way, the kestrels

I just googled "juvenile Vermillion Flaycatcher". It sure looks like it, if you have a picture of it in the front that would make it much easier to tell.

I didn't think this little guy has a such long name[]

Where are the photos from JJ?

San Bernardino county, Southern California.

the kestrels' eye looks a bit strange to me though.

yeah, you caught me,Nick!, it's eye was at least 1 1/3 stop under exposed[:$]. this was the result after I selectively brightened the eye . it does look strange to me too.

well the name is just Vermillion Flycatcher, but it doesn't look like a normal one because it is still in its first year, and so it doesn't look like a normal adult male.

That pretty much confirms it then, seeing as Vermillion Flycatchers only range in the us is the south west.
